Legalisation of documents from the Solomon Islands for use in the Netherlands

To use a document from the Solomon Islands in the Netherlands, you must first have it legalised by the authorities in the Solomon Islands.

Attention: If you want to use a Dutch document in the Solomon Islands, see Legalisation of Dutch documents for use abroad.

Good to know

  • Documents in English do not have to be translated for use in the Netherlands.
  • Your document must be original and complete. If it refers to other documents or annexes, these must be included.

Where can you have your document legalised?

Have your document legalised by the authorities in Solomon Islands.

Once your document has been legalised it is fit for use in the Netherlands.

It is then also fit for use in Aruba, CuraƧao, St Maarten, Bonaire, Saba and St Eustatius.

After legalisation

Verification of your document in the Netherlands

Legalisation does not prove the authenticity of a document or the truthfulness of its content. A municipality in the Netherlands, the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) or another authority may decide to verify these things. Legalisation of your document simply means that your document bears the correct signature.

How recently must your document have been issued or legalised

Organisations have different requirements for how recently your document must have been issued and legalised. For more information, contact the organisation in the Netherlands requesting the document.
